Capo II
I get into the car, drive away from the life
Suddenly certain she won't be my wife
And the jewelry I give her remains in the bottom of a drawer
In some room I won't enter with it's cold un-christened floor
And the man she is leaving, he stands by the door
Weepin' at words "hey brother" she said them before
So I go to the water, it is time that I need
Oh my heart wears a fancy dress, burst at the seams
All that had mattered and all that I've seen
diving into the great lakes of love
It was foolish resistance I heard in the distance
the drums of the band they were beating persistently
letting me know it's nothing but time to move on
Perhaps I'll see her around, hair up, top down
And I could watch silently, making no sound
It would soften the blow, to leave without saying hello
So I go to the water, it is time that I need
Love is nothing, love is everything, its never in-between
All that had mattered and all that I've seen
diving into the great lakes of love
The wind it'll bend and the wind it'll bellow, straight, straight to the shore
The lake is deception she waits in the shadows
swim, swim, out for more I swim, swim, out for more
So I go to the water, it is time that I need
Oh my heart wears a fancy dress, burst at the seams
All that had mattered and all that I've seen
diving into the great lakes of love
falling into the great lakes of love
